Barbie the Muscovy Duck

Today I went to the garden and there was a duck.

A perfect excuse to take some pictures (but then again, anything is.)

If you were paying attention you can see a bowl in the first picture. I put that there, next to some chicken-food. Because that’s what you do when you find an animal that is (not necessarily) hurt . You presume it’s going to die in the next 5 minutes if you don’t give it some improvised food and a bowl of water (or milk, depends on the animal.) Preferably you put them in a box as well, because that helps them heal faster and not at all makes them panic or scared. Animal resque 101
